RG2011... London 2012: The Olympic Games Opening Ceremony (79 photos)

 

Jul 28, 2012

Finally. The 2012 Olympic Games in London were opened with a grand show last night. Director Danny Boyle did an amazing job of bringing together Britain's past, present and future, in, it must be said, a very long show. These are some cool pix of that ceremony. Let's hope the sport in the coming 16 days is just as good if not even better.
